Why is it I don’t recognize, the face reflected back at me?

What is it about her look, I no longer wish to see?

Sunken, hollowed cheeks, color pale, in shades of white

Turn away, bow my head, I can’t take my ghostly sight

Missing is the sparkle, once, so prominent in these eyes

Replaced by tears of sadness, rushing, falling, from my eyes

No strength to fight the demon, it’s taking all I’ve got

Too weak to go on trying, yet too stubborn, to accept this lot

Determined for a comeback, keep my focus on the prize

Restore myself, back to life, there is no compromise.

 

Authors note:  I am still unwell, trying to find the end of this madness.  Four weeks and counting.  I know what it isn’t, but not what it is.  I see a specialist on Wednesday.  I pray I finally find out what demon decided my body was its new home so I can evict it immediately!  I miss you all and hope you are well.  ❤

Hi friends,

Still looking for my mojo, but Mo said no and Jo had to go, so here I am, my words, now my foe. 😩

I’ve been ill for two weeks now, some days are spent in bed. I’m hoping to kick this crap soon and get back to writing. Right now, I have no desire to do so. If you happen to see them, please send Mo & Jo back this way. I have cookies. 🍪

Hope you’re all well. Have a great weekend.

❤️

One short errant shot

Taken, a vibrant, young life

Finds eternity

I wonder what would happen,
If I suddenly disappeared.
Would you come to look for me?
Or would it not seem weird?

Perhaps you thought I’d always
Venture out, alone, one day;
But, did you ever realize
I may not be back, this way?

I’m out among the living world,
Trying to find the real me.
And if by chance, I don’t return
One day, I hope you’ll see…

All the times you took me wrong,
You never really understood;
That everything I tried to do,
Was, for your own good

But, that’s okay, I get it,
You were trying to find you, too.
And now you have the time,
To do exactly what you want to do.

I sat here awhile,
Trying to find reason,
Why I should remain where I am.
There’s so much out there,
I haven’t touched.
I needed to make a new plan.

Rising from this bench,
Where I have spent
Too many days in the dark
I’ll take a leap of faith,
And head for the stars.
It’s time for me to make my mark.

The universe is calling to me
I need to go,
I just can’t wait.
It’s been too long,
Since I was free.
The galaxy, opened its gates

Onward, I will take my soul
Find the path
Laid out, I can see.
The sky’s the limit,
There’s nothing to stop…

Me… from being me.
